who are most likely to drink and drive. For instance there a laws in every state to keep those under 21 from purchasing and consuming alcohol. If we pressed harder to enforce those laws fewer kids would end up killing someone with their car. We also take driving license away from those convicted of DUI and install breathalyzer in their cars to keep them from driving drunk. No one seems to mind these and other commonsense laws.
However, trying to enforce simple background checks in every instance where someone wants to buy a gun is near impossible.
Why is it that everyone is far taking common sense steps to keep people from getting killed with one deadly weapon, but we can't seem to do so for even more deadly weapons?
